This is part of Vault series in which we found classic or rare footage to bring to our fans.
This video aired in Japan on December 3rd, 2000 marking the classic clash between Japan's greatest Rikidozan and the U.S.'s best Lou Thesz. An absolute must to trace the beginning of American wrestler's competing in Japan. Almost 90% of people who had televisions in 1957, watched this match. It is still one of the top 5 events ever watched in Japan. (Taped October 1957)
